Chapter 31: Let’s test if we’re compatible

The sight before my eyes could only be described in one word: awe-inspiring.

A space so incredible, it was hard to believe it existed underground.

Like a secret city hidden within the ruins, the scene before me was bizarrely luxurious and sophisticated.

It wasn’t like the gleaming skyline of Gangnam in Seoul, but it was far from some run-down countryside village.

The buildings were small, but the shopping streets were laid out in an orderly fashion.

There were bustling markets, streetlights, and an atmosphere that felt completely unrelated to the word “monstrosities.”

But most of all—

“…The sky?”

“It’s… the sky…”

“No, look closely. It’s a virtual display made entirely of LED panels.”

When I looked up, a blue sky filled with drifting clouds spread out above.

It was a fake sky floating in this windless underground space.

So meticulously designed, it felt like a disguised paradise crafted by someone.

The display was so realistic, it gave the illusion that a gentle breeze might actually be flowing.

‘This is insane.’

Seriously, they said it was a village of infected beings, but this looks more like some underground resort!

It was at that moment—

“Everyone~ I’m back!”

With an excited voice, Lila strode confidently into the village.

A few moments later—

“Oh, it’s Lila!”

“Lila’s back!”

“We were so worried about you, little one!”

The village suddenly came alive with sounds of movement.

From between the buildings, behind electric signs, and through cracks in the closed shop shutters, androids began to emerge one by one.

All of them were infected.

Pink eyes and faint traces of tendrils marked their skin.

They looked strange and dangerous, but their actions were different.

They didn’t raise any weapons or rush at us.

They simply stared at us cautiously.

Then someone whispered quietly.

“…Who are the people with Lila?”

In an instant, dozens of eyes turned toward us at once.

“Did you… save Lila?”

“Uh, well… something like that?”

“Thank you. Truly, thank you… Lila is the youngest infected in our village, and we’ve always worried about her.”

“Thanks to you, she returned safely. You are… our saviors.”

And then—what happened next could only be described as an all-out frenzy.

“Wh-what!?”

In a flash, a crowd of androids rushed toward me from every direction and hugged me tightly.

Against the traces of infection that marked their bodies, I felt shockingly soft breasts, warm thighs, and a strange heat radiating through the marks of their tendrils.

“Savior, you’re so amazing…♡”

“Thank you so much for helping Lila, truly…”

“It’s the first time we’ve met someone like you in our village.”

They hugged me, rubbed against me, and pulled me closer by the waist.

Maybe it was because I’d been on ‘no-fap’ mode for over ten days, but my partner down below had already sprung to attention.

My face was buried between soft breasts, and little by little, my rational mind was being drowned out by instinct.

But then—

“Step away.”

Zzzing—.

With a sharp mechanical sound, a blade was drawn.

“Eek?!”

“A-a combat android?!”

“So scary…!”

The androids who had been clinging to me moments ago quickly backed away.

Walking toward me with heavy footsteps was one figure.

“Chanwoo, stop screwing around and come over here.”

With an expressionless face and a gloomy, murderous aura, Levi stood squarely in front of me, blade in hand.

From the side, even Serika was glaring at me.

“Chanwoo… This time, Levi’s right. Seriously.”

‘Wait, weren’t these two always like a cat and a dog fighting each other?’

‘Why are they suddenly trying to team up against me like a UFC tag team?’

Sensing the danger, I quietly shuffled over toward Levi and Serika.

The moment I did, silent arms slipped around me from both sides.

On the left, something soft and pliable.

On the right, something heavy and firm.

It felt like being wrapped in pressure bandages—only the bandages were made entirely of generous breasts.

Thanks to that, I was pretty sure my precious lower half reacted before my heart did.

“This spot belongs to me!”

“Chanwoo needs to stay by my side.”

Their heavy chests pressed into my arms as both androids clung to me, silently declaring their claim over me.

With the mood completely flipped, Serika finally lifted her head and spoke again.

“Everyone here is an infected—meaning, a monstrosity.”

“…!”

“B-but we were just hiding here…!”

“We never attacked any androids!”

Serika glared sharply at them.

“Even so, androids will pull the trigger if there’s even a ‘potential threat’ to humanity.”

Tension instantly thickened among the infected.

No one spoke; only an anxious silence filled the air.

Then Serika opened her mouth once more.

“I want to meet your leader.”

“L-Leader…? You don’t mean… Flacia, do you?”

“You want us to introduce Flacia to people like them? No way…”

The whispering voices trembled.

A wave of confusion spread across the faces of the infected around us.

It was as if they had been confronted with an unexpected crisis, and they began exchanging nervous glances.

And then it happened.

“Stop scaring the kids, you idiots!!!”

A sudden, booming voice shook the entire underground tunnel.

The echoing shout made even the air itself tremble, completely overturning the atmosphere.

At the same time, the arrows on the electronic billboards all moved at once.

Flashing in red, the indicators pointed unmistakably toward a single destination.

“If you want to meet me, just come. I was hoping to see your faces too.”

A strange voice.

But it instantly dominated the entire space with overwhelming presence.

Speechless, we slowly turned our heads to follow the arrows.

Flacia.

The one who breathed life into this city.

Despite being a monstrous creature, she was the mysterious architect who built its technology and order.

And now, she was summoning us.

This wasn’t just a simple meeting—it was the first step toward approaching the true essence of this bizarre world.

***

Following the arrows on the billboard, we arrived at a deeper part of the underground village.

It was a space that still bore traces of an old sewer system.

The air was stiflingly hot and humid, unrefined, thick as if even breathing was a labor.

The faint mechanical hum, like that of a workshop that had only just shut down, echoed in the background.

But what truly made it hard to breathe wasn’t the heat.

It was her.

“…Sexy.”

I couldn’t help but mutter it sincerely.

Flacia.

The engineer of the underground village that Lila had spoken about—the epicenter of this anomaly that shouldn’t even exist in this world.

And the figure standing before me now was far too sensual to be called an engineer.

The top of her coveralls was half unzipped and hanging loose.

Her cleavage was exposed and slightly lifted, and her curves, swollen with sweat, stood out subtly beneath the damp fabric.

The red underwear she wore underneath seemed deliberately provocative, enhancing every contour.

Her sweat-soaked red hair clung to her neck, adding an alluring sheen to her skin.

This wasn’t workwear.

It was a deliberate presentation.

A queen who wielded seduction in place of tools.

“So, you’re the ones. The android and… the living human who entered our underground village.”

“…!”

“Chanwoo, please step back.”

Serika immediately stepped forward to shield me.

Levi also summoned her blade to her fingertips, adopting a threatening stance.

But Flacia only raised one eyebrow lazily and pointed toward a nearby pipe.

“You might want to keep those hands where they are. The equipment here is old. One wrong move and, well… while we might survive, a human like you would probably end up leaking like… you know, other fluids.”

This woman—her words were as dangerous as she was.

She sounded like she could melt someone with just her breathing, let alone gas.

“How cowardly to use Chanwoo as a hostage…!”

“Hey, that’s unfair! I haven’t taken anyone hostage.”

Flacia laughed lightly and spread her arms open.

Her relaxed, leisurely attitude—and the single bead of sweat tracing between her breasts—made it clear.

This wasn’t a negotiation.

It was already a game, and the winner had been decided from the start.

“…Both of you, lower your weapons. I want to talk to Flacia.”

“Chanwoo…!”

The expressions of the two androids hardened, but I quietly walked toward Flacia.

She slowly ran her gaze up and down my body, her lips curling into a mischievous smile.

Her eyes seemed to whisper, without words, ‘I like what I see.’

“Nice to meet you. What did you say your name was?”

“My name is Kang Chanwoo.”

I reached out with a trembling hand to shake hers.

Of course, there were… softer things I wanted to grab more than her hand, but I restrained myself.

Flacia placed her hand lightly on my chest, then leaned in, her breath grazing my ear.

Her soft, warm breath sent shivers down my spine.

With a playful sparkle in her eye, she whispered, “Chanwoo… forgive me, but I have something to say just between the two of us. May I whisper it in your ear?”

“Chanwoo! Be careful!”

“Yeah! Just look at her—she’s as shameless as her huge chest!”

Honestly, to me, it was just a chest full of happiness.

Regardless, I obediently tilted my head toward her.

Her breath brushed against my ear—it wasn’t just conversation.

It was seduction.

“When you want to get close to someone… sometimes words aren’t enough. You have to let your bodies speak. Do you believe that?”

“…I believe it.”

“Then… tonight, why don’t we find out if we’re… perfectly compatible?”

“Yes!”

Flacia, the ruler of the underground village.

At this moment, I was completely, absolutely certain about one thing:

I wanted her.
